Runaway Alpha

“Stop thinking how I notice it. Your face is all so easy to read”

“That ain’t funny”

And so we talked for a small while before I realized that I am again… talking to him about the things happened between me and Lhana. Among those things he said… the only thing that carved on my mind is that…

“You know what, I do believe that everything do happens for a reason. That is certified. It it is meant to happen, it would be”

“Yeah…”

Another days passed and it is yet another journey for me to find the second last box we have to gather. The number of box we successfully gather range in seven which makes two more boxes to make it nine.

“Just how long do you plan on avoiding her?”

Cavian whispered as he is talking with me through the mana circle I created in the forehead of mine. I make sure to use an invisible tint to not make me look weird. I somehow feel weird tho, but it is not like that is all so strange.

“I don’t know”

I shortly replied as I continued walking tot he direction of the map stating the lake having a spear like rock placed in the middle of it. That is the Marlthon Depths. Just as what it was stated on the map I have…. it was surrounded by thick erhelena trees making it be difficult to find.

Thinking that another strange thing would occur before I finally have the chance in finding the box, what surprised me is when I saw that box in the center of the lake. Hinding behind the spear like rock forms as if it was just there all over this time. There are no strange things occuring as every single drops and waves of water are so natural to he fact that you will never know that a special piece is hiding in this area.

“This seems to be easier than the last one you got”

Truly, this is the easiest. Well.. no, maybe the first box was the easiest and this is the second easiest among all the boxes I find. The boxe I got having ornaments is the fifth, which makes the box hiding on the tree vines with scorpions the sixth, and the one hiding inside the rock of million bolts of rock place the seventh. Among the nine boxes we have gathered so far, I never thought that I can gather 4 boxes in such a short span of time. This box will the the eighth box. Which leaves me in case that the box I have to gather before completing it is just one.

“Yes… I think so too”

There was a small smile in me as I feel like things are being on the bright side but then… Who would have thought that the luck I have would end up in this.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“You can rest”

Cavian mumbled as he make me stop in digging this big hole. I have been in here for over how many days I don’t know. If not for the water that the near falls have in here and the fruits of the berry plant that is planted not far from where I am, I am not sure if I can still keep on living. I decided to not went back home without having that box with me. But it turns out that the fishes on the pond would be the first one to run out than the mana I have left in my body.

Sitting on the grass with big pack of dirts beside it, I can say that I am in a mess. My clothes have been like this ever since. I do have a spare but changing clothes and washing the other one, I never even expected to encounter such thing. Thankfully it was finely comfortable to wear. If not, I would surely be on range walking all around the forest to pick up any clothes I can get.

One of the rule we wolves have is that, we can use those clothes only… If it is needed. If it isn’t a thing that is needing urgent usage of it, we can’t just randomly pick up every clothes scattered on the forest.

“Where is that damn box”

I grumble as I find it unpleasant and displeasing. To think that among all of those, the last one would be the hardest among all.

Reading the clues again and again, it will always lead me into this spot. Even Cavian think the same… He too did have the idea that it might be the place where that box is placed at.

“But you have been doing this for. a couple of days. Maybe you can just end it in here”

“No”

“But I feel like you can’t see it nor find it whatever movements you do”

“I must find it”

“What if Lhana and her brother already find that thing that you are looking for?”

“No, i am not that idiot to find something that they already found. They didn’t went in this place. The boxes they have with them isn’t residing in this place.”

“Then why is the box not showing up?”

“I… I don’t know”

“Let me remind you. It is hard to find something that doesn’t exist. No matter where you go, no matter where you look at it. If it isn’t existing in the first place, there is no use in exerting all your efforts for that”

“You sounds so deep”

“Thay is based on experience. Not because you think of it, it would exist. Yes indeed, nothing is impossible. If you think of something like that, there is a possibility that it really do exist. But… in reality… that isn’t the case.”

There was a brief silence in his side. I not know why but, he sounds… dejected.

“I am not saying that the case I have is the same reason why that thing happens to you. Even with this great knowlede of mine… I am afraid to say but this too have it’s own limits”

I stay silent. Thinking about what he had said. Surely it isn’t a good thing to look for things that is imposible to find. The reason why I am looking for this shitty boxes remains the same. But… is it really posible that the box we are trying to find doesn’t really exist?

The gush of the wind touches my skin. Ha… just how long will I stay like this? Staying idly and doing nothing but stare at the nothingness isn’t part of my hobby. I would more likely love reading than doings some useless shits.

‘The life flows in a circular motion’

I hear a voice speaking those things but as i touch my forehead it seems like… it doesn’t release any warm feeling that states that the mana circle is still left activated.

Standing up and heading to the lake reflects some light of the sun, I was surprised to see how the sky changes rapidly. The clouds are moving faster than the way it used to be. The sunlight is getting dimmer and dimmer as the seconds passes by.

Looking at the skies, I feel like… Something is wrong.

“Cavian??”

I call the name of the person i was talking to just a moment ago but he didn’t respond. How weird, Isn’t it geting off too fast? I just activated that mana circle not too long ago!

‘Everything are meant to happen’

I then heard that voice again. I wonder who that person is. Looking around, I saw no sign of any creature that is present around my sight. No breath of life can be sense with this great senses of mine.

“How weird..”

Mumbling to myself, I didn’t know that such thing will bound to happen.

‘And everything will remain the same for… that is how life proceeds’

And in the blink of an eyes, I was brought to a long long journey that I never knew how it will end.
